Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

Anyone lose a little dog?

Praveen from Te Atatu South

Hi
I saw this tiny dog running in the middle of of the road, beginning at Strid Rd and turned down Kirrie Ave.
I was a bit worried she might get runner over as she was in the middle of road at times and looked scared, so wondered if she may have lost her way home.
Please message me if you are missing a small dog.
Thanks
Praveen
